The trial of Choi Soon-sil, the woman at the center of an influence-peddling scandal involving South Korea's president, is under way in Seoul.
South Korea’s constitution needs to be changed to provide a modified semi-presidential system. The next presidential inauguration ceremony should include a declaration that the nation’s highest office is above partisan politics. Corrupt political and business links can be broken only by carrying out comprehensive constitutional reform to implement true democracy and the rule of law, with separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four government branches should be chosen in elections in alternating years, with elections free of charge to candidates, to cut out political and business corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
